"This evening, Quil Lawrence and Tom Bowman of NPR explained the story behind the surprising photos of Trump on Monday giving a thumbs-up over a grave in Arlington National Cemetery. The reporters wrote that '[t]wo members of Donald Trump's campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation Monday with an official' at the cemetery, where '[f]ederal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities.'”

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •"Trump brought a 'private photographer,' who accompanied Trump to an area of the cemetery (Area 60) reserved for burial of US soldiers recently killed in action—and off limits to photography. Trump nonethless posed for a photo in front of a grave marker while sporting a broad smile and giving a 'thumbs up' hand signal."

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •"Donald knows that he does not in any way measure up to the men and women who have served this country, just as he knows he could never measure up to my father. He’s a weak and insecure man who he mocks his betters to compensate for his own inadequacies."

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •“'I like people who don’t get caught,' he said about Senator John McCain, who spent 5 and a half years being tortured in a prison camp while Donald lied about having bone spurs and received four deferments without any thought of who would go to Vietnam in his stead.
That’s who he is. And any time he’s allowed an opportunity to convince people otherwise is just another desecration."
